If you’re a fan of Korean reality shows and looking for something out of the ordinary, Kian‘s Bizarre B&B is Netflix’s newest gem that will surprise you from beginning to end. Unlike anything ever done in the guesthouse genre, this variety show blends chaos, humor, tenderness, and genuine human connection — all set against the stunning natural backdrop of Ulleungdo Island.
While most Korean guesthouse variety shows aim for a cozy, well-structured atmosphere, Kian’s Bizarre B&B flips that expectation on its head. Led by the eccentric and lovable Kian84, joined by BTS’s Jin and the ever-energetic Ji Ye Eun, the trio runs a bed and breakfast in the most unexpected way — full of surprises, hearty laughs, and touching moments.
Shortly after its premiere, the show made headlines around the world, debuting in sixth place on Netflix’s Global Top 10 (Non-English TV Series category). What’s even more remarkable? It was the only variety show to make it into that chart — proof of its one-of-a-kind appeal and the warm reception from audiences everywhere.
Kian84, known for his spontaneous and clumsy charm, kicks off the show with the motto, “no plan is the plan.” But as the episodes progress, we witness his transformation into a surprisingly thoughtful and dedicated host. His genuine smile and growing connection with the guests show just how much he becomes emotionally invested in the experience.
Kian’s raw honesty and unpredictable personality are key ingredients in the show’s unique recipe. Whether he’s trying to cook, struggling with logistics, or simply bonding with the guests, Kian brings heart and authenticity to every scene.
Jin brings calm, simplicity, and a disarming charm to the mix — captivating both the guests and the audience. One of the most memorable scenes features him lying outdoors, eyes closed, feeling the sea breeze and smiling peacefully. These quiet moments reflect the true soul of the show: discovering beauty in life’s smallest details.
Even without his BTS stage persona, Jin shines through with his natural warmth and easygoing energy. His down-to-earth presence adds a soothing balance to the chaos of the B&B.
The youngest of the trio, Ji Ye Eun jumps into the B&B experience with vibrant energy and a fearless attitude. She even takes on the role of ferrying guests across the water by boat — an act that forms strong bonds with the people she meets.
Her contagious enthusiasm and approachable nature create a cozy, family-like atmosphere at the inn. From helping with chores to snapping selfies with guests, Ji Ye Eun brings heart, fun, and a refreshing dynamic to the show.
With the second week of running the B&B coming to a close, fans are eagerly awaiting the final episodes of this chaotic yet touching adventure. Episodes 7 to 9 of Kian’s Bizarre B&B are set to release on April 22 on Netflix. If you haven’t started watching yet, now is the perfect time to catch up and binge-watch the series.
What makes this show stand out isn’t just its hilarious unpredictability, but the deep emotional connections that form along the way. It’s a refreshing take on reality TV — one that shows us it’s okay to be imperfect, to laugh through the mess, and to care deeply for others.
So get ready to laugh, feel all the feels, and fall in love with this warm, chaotic journey on Ulleungdo Island — an unforgettable guesthouse experience like no other.
